Dynohub wiring question

[1970sframe]

Yes, I have a Raleigh Traveller with a completely trouble-free dual wire dynamo. But I like the fact that the wires are routed through the frame on the Superbe … if I went for the pair of dual wires required from the Dynohub to the headlight and then all the way back to the rear light, I would only get one of them through the holes in the frame. The other would have to be routed on the outside.

So am inclined to try the single wire approach first and see what happens.

Thank you!

On other trick if you can solder is to use solder tags and then a screw into the frame (or simply behind a bolt like a brake or mudguard eye). Typically the earth is coiled around one mudguard stay to the rear lamp. As @bikeworkshop says, it's much better to avoid using the frame as return connection, but solder-joined bridge wires for the key links (lamp to frame, frame to fork) help a lot.
